An Electrical Baton.


Leading chorus by electrical APP
paratus has been tried in Paris. The
current is used in beating time for the
chorus of an opera company while the
singers are behind the scenes. An cleo
trical baton, hung in conspicuous
place, is controlled by the foot of the
leader of the orchestra, who has also in
front of him small duplicate, by which
he can see whether his foot is beating
the correct time The electrical baton
does not actually move in space, but it
presents the appearance of doing SO.
There are, in fact, two batons occupy
ing different positions, which on being
revolved by the action of electro-mag-
nets, present black and white faces all
ternately on the background. An opti-
cal illusion is thus produced exactly
equivalent to the movement of a single
white baton in the hands of leader.
1t is said that much greater precision is
obtained by this device than where the
time is beaten for the chorus by u
second leader behind the scenes.

GRANT AND MCCLELLAN.
The Discovery of Partnership That Was
Almost Concluded.

Almost Concluded.
In the examination of the papers left
by the late General Mcclellan tho dis
covery has been made that he and Gen
eral Grant, although they had been
any thing else than aceordant as SOL
diers, entered into remarkable part
nership RS civilians, 1t was deeply
cherished ambition of Grants to crown
his achievements with the accomplish
ment of some great enterprise in civic
affairs. Among the innumerable
schemes that were brought before his
attention the one that attracted him
the most was the Nicarauga canal pro-
ject. During General Grants admin
istration n commission was appointed
to investigate the several canal pro-
jects and to make n report and recon-
mendations. The commission was
headed by Admiral Ammcn, and in a
yoluminous report declared that the
Nicaragua scheme was the most avail
able. Mcclellan was to be
associated with Grant in the prosecu-
ton of the work. Grant was TO be the
president of the company, and McClel-
Ian was to be at the head Of the engi-
neeriag department
The arrangements of the scheme took
time, but at last, after numerous confer
ences, papers were prepared that were
satisfactory to all parties, Generals
Grant and Mcclellan met in New
York office to sign them. 1t should be
mentioned incidentally that, with Cen
eral Grant at the head Of the enterprise,
the firm of Grant and Ward would
naturally have been its financial agents,
The papers embodying the agreements
received u final scrutiny, and some dis
cussion ensued. Then General McClel-
Ian, who held the documents, passed
them to General Grant The later had
taken pen in his hand to ailiN his sig
nature, when messenger entered hur-
riedly and handed dispatch to him
1t announced the failure of the Ma
rine Bank. The General rose and
handing the message to Mcclellan re-
marked:
"In that case l think / had better no
sign, for if the Marine Bank has failed
that means Grant & Ward. "
Grant & Ward had already failed, but
the General had not heard of 1t. Me
Clellan looked at the dispatch for a
moment and then rcplied
"No; in that case don't believe
either of us had better sign. for don't
believe either you or want to be found
in the assets OF Grant & Ward
The remark was made with no knowl-
edge of its deep significance but ii was
the end OF General Grants connection
with the Nicaraugua canaL-M T.

wish to call attention to the value
of milk-sweet, sour thick or thin-for
poultry. Egg production / think is
decidedly the most paying result to be
obtained from hens, though many birds
will need to be raised to sell to replen-
ish layers too old to keep. In January,
'85, my fowls had only half enough
milk, and sold from them about forty
five dozen eggs. In january, Sc, we
sold almost none; and in the middle Of
February they were far below their ac-
customed work. l can attribute this
difference to nothing else but lack Of
milk. The loss, at the time when eggs
are at the highest price, is considerable,
and do not intend that my fowls shall
ever again be without plenty of milk.
Now and then fowlwill die. 1t may
be disease or hurt from some animal.
heard people say that the sharp par
ticles of bones killed them, and as this
looked reasonable l stopped feeding
bones. But the number of eggs lessened,
and | recommended the bone-feeding,
with evident improvement. Possibly a
sharp piece of bone may occasionally
kill a fowl, but so it sometimes does a
man. Shall we therefore stop eating
meat or fish? A mill is advertised for
grinding bones for fowls but do not
know about it. / am well satisfied to
pound them with the head of light
axe, on very solid stone high enough
for convenience.
Hose fowl now and then, and do not
see how it can be avoided altogether,
but the best care will bring the losses
down to q minimum, and without this
there can not be much profit anywhere
it is the little, apparently unimportant,
every day neglect that eventually eats
into the farmers purse. A fowls giz-
zard must be one of the most marvellous
structures, for what do they not put
therein. Do not put bones in the fire,
for this destroys the best part-grease,
gristle, marrow, etc. The hons manage

ticles somehow. How they come at the

Few cooks broil well, and yet it is
themost heathful and acceptable method
of cooking meats. A clear fire, made
of cinders or coke, is best for cooking
with gridiron, the bars of which
should be kept clean and smooth, There
should be aspace of four or five inches
between the top of the fire and the
bottom of TIE gridiron; the latter should
be we'll creased. Good cooks never salt
or pepper meats before broiling, as to
do so renders it hard and tasteless.
Broiling the steak, ham, chops OF
chicken for a meal should be the last
thing done, so it may have the cook
undivided attention. A steel gridiron,
with fat, slender bars is best and mos
convenient for broiling, The Caterer.
